Arrangements have been made with several of the hotels here to entertain quite a large representation from New Haven about August.
 Hathorn springs and the lovely Congress \ Park are being visited daily by hundreds, who enjoy the pleasant sights and scenes | which surround them on every turn-the | sxhilarating and health-giving properties con- | tained in the natural mineral waters which | necessarily bubble and spout from morning l to night as they burst forth from the springs beneath the rocky-bound surface. Morning and evening there is Emusic in the air" It's sweet harmony lends enchant- ment to the ear as one 1eisuriy strolls up and
 down Broadway or quietly lounges on the | piazza of the States, Grand Union Con-
 gress Hall, enjoying his fragrant Havana
 or engaged in a chat with a pretty miss of
 would lose the opportunity of the
 customary trip to Saratoga and
 for season, even, try to escape
 being caught in it's meshes of bewitchery, k@here all dull cares are driven away and
 seemingly the germs of health and long life \ | tinually arriving for the races, which will I soon open for the season. On Union avenue \ and opposite the race course is situated what is termed ''Horse Haven, (which mbraces the
 long row of stables in which are quartered
 the race horses and the training track, and
 which is now open to visitors. Twetny-three fine limbed and we'll trained horses have just
 arrived for the races and are now quartered
 at "Horse Haven" ! The first grand display of fireworks in
 Congress Spring Park occurred Thursday

 'fdeviI among the tailors," (custom made tailors of course), mines and illuminations.
 Thousands were on hand to witness the gor- | geous display and listen to the fine concert | by the Regimental band of Albany, N. Y. ! It is the intention to have similar displays on the park at least once each week during July
 and August, with many other fine attractions
 which the popular superintendent, MT. \ Schuyler, has now in preparation.

 ing. His morning concerts are largely at ! tended by the fair sex, whose costumes are ! mainly dainty foulards and pretty ginghams ' tri,1 1rit rio ohrOiH fine faces and tufts of fancy ribbons. which make | these very inexpensive costumes quite be- ! coming and stylish The concerts are given on the park in the rear of the hotel with it's | fine shade trees and well kept lawns 1t Is a ! beautiful spot and much to be enjoyed. Quite large numbers of ladies and gents from 1 the various hotels in Saratoga are noticed here every morning, either sitting on the long verandas or enjoying Ia pleasant promenade whereabouts. All old patrons of the Continental Hotel will
 be pleased no doubt to learn that the genial

 this hotel so many years, can be found
 there this season, having lost none of his TO-
 tundity, geniality, or most excellent taste
 and judgment as caterer, by his sojourn
